Farmer of Shu Han

Chapter 885: uncover

  Chapter 885 revealed

   "Envoy Cao, this is the place where businessmen and poor servants who have no money to listen to books come here."

   Li Yi followed Cao San and was responsible for sending him back to Hanzhong.

  Seeing that Cao San looked a little hesitant, he smiled and explained, "The "Three Books of Shooting the Condors" mentioned here has been misinterpreted by many people, and has lost its original meaning."

   "If Envoy Cao really likes these three books, he can go to the special storytelling place in Jicheng. The storyteller there is from Nanxiang, and he can speak authentically."

   "After arriving in Hanzhong, envoy Cao can go to Nanxiang for a visit, which is where Feng Junhou really started."

   Cao San heard Li Yi's words, and couldn't help asking with some doubts:

   "What is "Three Books of Shooting the Condors"?"

  Li Yi led Cao San out of Washi, and said as he walked:

   "At the Goulan place in Washi, at least half of the people who are said and played are related to the three books."

   "The first one is called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". It is about the story of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, a knight-errant, from the tenth year to the thirty-fifth year of King Zhou Nan."

   "The second part is called "The Legend of Condor Heroes". It mainly talks about the story of Guo Jing's nephew Yang Guo before Qin destroyed Zhao."

   "The third part is called "Purple Dian Qingshuang Ji". It tells the story of Zhang Wuji, a knight-errant who obtained Guo Jing's "Art of War" left by Guo Jing, led the knights in the world, and helped Emperor Gaozu to pacify the world."

  Cao San originally heard that these three books were all about knight-errants, so he disdained them.

  Unexpectedly, a "Wu An Jun Art of War" appeared in the end, and his expression changed drastically, and he blurted out:

   ""Wu Anjun Art of War"? That's not Feng Langjun..."

   Speaking of this, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and quickly stopped talking.

  Just as soon as the words "Feng Langjun" came out, Li Yi turned his head and looked at him vigilantly:

   "Why did Envoy Cao say that?"

  Cao Sanqing knew that she had slipped her tongue, and said in a slightly embarrassing manner:

   "There is a legend in Guanzhong that Feng Langjun has trained troops well. Since he led the army, he has won every battle because he learned the "Wu An Jun Art of War" left by the Marquis of Huaiyin in the past..."

  Hearing this, Li Yi's expression became strange.

   This rumor should have originated from Hanzhong at the earliest, and now it is spread all over the streets in Hanzhong.

   To be more specific, the most likely one is Nanxiang in Hanzhong.

  Because whenever Nanxiang is mentioned, elder brother must be mentioned.

  Over the years, my elder brother has made great military exploits, and I don't know who spread the word, saying that my elder brother has learned "Wu'an Jun Art of War".

  Since the Battle of Longyou, in fact, there have been such rumors in Nanxiang.

  As soon as the news of the Battle of Xiaoguan spread, the rumors reached their peak.

   Now let alone the people in Hanzhong, even inside the Xinghan Society, there are many people muttering:

  This... can't be true, can it?

  After all, the Marquis of Huaiyin also served Li Zuoche, the grandson of Lord Wu'an, as his teacher. Maybe he really read "The Art of War of Lord Wu'an".

   Otherwise, why did His Majesty go to Hanzhong to pay homage to Emperor Gaozu's hometown before the Battle of Xiaoguan, and why hasn't he returned to Jincheng?

   It's not obvious that you want to learn from Emperor Gaozu's past?

  So even in Li Yi's view, this matter seems a bit mysterious.

  What kind of guy is Zhao Erlang, doesn't he understand?

   Martial arts naturally exist.

  But to be honest, based on his own ability, at his current age, he would be considered a promising general if he could be a general in the army.

...

   Without the support of my brother, it would be a dream!

  Every time Li Yi thinks about this, if he says in his heart that he has no regrets, that would be a lie.

   Back then, I was one step too late for Zhao Erlang!

   It was only a little bit short, and Zhao Erlang got to know his brother first.

  Cao San naturally didn't know the real reason why Li Yi's expression turned ugly when he heard this.

  He only thought it was because of himself, and immediately apologized:

   "I made a slip of the tongue, please don't blame Mr. Li Lang."

  Li Yi came to his senses from deep thinking, and shook his head immediately:

   "It's okay, this rumor is Hanzhong, and there are many people in the market."

   Speaking of this, he even said with a smile:

   "Don't hide from Messenger Cao, let alone someone else, even if I call Junhou my elder brother in private, I am actually skeptical about this in my heart... Haha!"

  Cao San breathed a sigh of relief, and then laughed:

   "Since Li Langjun and Feng Langjun have a very close personal relationship, why didn't you ask clearly?"

   Li Yi waved his hand:

   "Emissary Cao doesn't think that Junhou is young, but in fact he is very dignified, and these things are secret affairs of Junhou and his master. How can he easily ask?"

  When Cao San heard this, his heart skipped a beat:

   "Li Langjun is saying... It is really possible for Junhou to have learned "Wu An Jun Art of War"? No, this Wu An Jun really left a secret art of war?"

   Li Yi made a haha:

   "How dare I talk nonsense about the matter of the emperor? But I can talk about the latter matter."

   "Li Langjun, please speak."

   "I don't know if Jun Houxue has never studied "Wu An Jun's Art of War", but Wu An Jun is very likely to leave behind the art of war."

  When Cao San heard the words, his heart was shaken, and he blurted out and asked:

   "How can Li Langjun be so sure?"

   "If Messenger Cao has finished reading the three parts of the Condor Shooting, I'm afraid he will have the same idea as me."

  The more Li Yi said that, the more curious Cao San became.

   Seeing him like this, Li Yi did not hide.

  Take him to a restaurant in Jicheng, ask for a private room, and briefly explain to him the content of the Three Books of Shooting the Condors.

   Guo Jing in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was exactly the ranger when King Qin Zhaoxiang was in power.

  During the reign of King Qin Zhaoxiang, he destroyed Yiqu, strengthened Bashu, attacked Wei, defeated Han, conquered Chu, defeated Zhao, and destroyed Zhou.

   Repeatedly defeated the countries one after another, and annexed many lands of the four countries.

  Even the nominal co-lord of the world, Zhou Tianzi, died at the hands of the Qin people.

   Not only the commanders of the coalition forces of various countries were captured, but even the state of Chu was defeated by the Qin army.

   Among them, the most famous in history is the Battle of Changping.

  During the reign of King Qin Zhaoxiang, the state of Qin went east to west, and all the countries killed were young and strong, adding up to nearly a million.

  According to the "Legend of the Condor Heroes", King Zhaoxiang of Qin was able to achieve this achievement, and Guo Jing also made great efforts.

  Hearing such anecdotes, Cao Sansan was shocked: "Why is he not remembered in history?"

  Li Yi shook his head, smiled bitterly and said:

   "Qin Shihuang collected all the books in the world and burned them. Only the lonely copy remained in Xianyang, and was finally burned by Xiang Yu."

   "How much is left of the theory of the pre-Qin philosophers and hundreds of schools?"

   Cao San heard the words, heaved a deep sigh, and then asked: "What happened next?"

   "Later, Guo Jing gradually realized that the people of Qin slaughtered too much, and repeatedly persuaded King Qin Zhaoxiang, but King Qin refused to listen.

   "Especially after the Battle of Changping, when Qin Renkeng killed 400,000 Zhao troops, Guo Jing finally left in anger and returned to Zhao with Huang Rong."

   Li Yi continued to explain, "Shortly afterwards, the Battle of Handan between Qin and Zhao broke out. Guo Jing and Huang Rong joined hands to help Zhao defend the city. Qin could not attack Handan for a long time, and finally suffered nearly 200,000 casualties."

   "Because Guo Jing learned the art of war from Bai Qi, but Bai Qi didn't want to go to Handan to lead the army, King Qin was furious and wanted to kill Bai Qi."

   "Huang Rong had already guessed what the King of Qin was thinking, and asked Guo Jingti to go to Qin to save Bai Qi, but Bai Qi only said that he had killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers, so he really deserved to die."

   "In the end, I gave Guo Jing a copy of the Art of War and asked him to take it away, but he killed himself."

  Cao San blurted out and asked: "Is that the "Wu'an Jun Art of War"?"

  Li Yi nodded and said: "That's right."

  Cao Sanchang let out a sigh of relief.

   Of course he knew about the Battle of Handan, but there was something hidden in it, which really surprised him.

  The first book was already so attractive, Cao San asked impatiently:

   "Then what is the second book about?"

   "It happened more than 20 years later, when the Qin State wanted to destroy the Zhao State. After the defeat of the Qin people in Handan, they did not dare to engage in military affairs for more than ten years."

   "Guo Jing and Huang Rong went to the frontier to live in seclusion, and met Li Mu, who guards the Yanmen Gate."

  Cao San was shocked: "Another Lord Wu An?!"

   "That's right, Guo Jing saw that Li Mu was a good general, and he cared about the common people, so he presented him with "The Art of War of Lord Wu'an."

   "Although "Wu'an Jun Art of War" was written by Bai Qi, Li Mu not only added annotations later, but also expanded the content of the art of war, so this book is actually a joint author."

  Cao San swallowed a mouthful of saliva, only to feel that such historical secrets are really unstoppable.

   "Later, Qin State sent troops twice to destroy Zhao State, but they were defeated by Li Mu. The people of Qin feared him, and finally resorted to countermeasures, causing Li Mu to be killed unjustly."

   "Guo Jing and Huang Rong died in grief and indignation, leaving behind only a knife and a sword, called Zidian Qingshuang, which contained "Wu'an Jun Art of War"."

   "What about later? What about later?"

   Cao San asked repeatedly.

   "Later, with one knife and one sword, he was exiled in the rivers and lakes, until the battle between Chu and Han four hundred years ago..."

  After a long speech, Li Yizao's mouth was dry. He picked up his teacup and took a big gulp.

   And Cao San was already obsessed with it.

  His thoughts were churning endlessly, and he always felt that there was a flash of thought, but he just couldn't think of it for a while.

   This made him sweat so anxiously that he couldn't help repeating what Li Yi said over and over in his heart.

   After a long time, he suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted, "I see!"

  Cao San made a loud noise, which startled Li Yi.

   "Why did Envoy Cao do this?"

   "Feng Langjun must have studied the "Wu Anjun Art of War", even if he has not, he is closely related to that art of war!"

  Cao San blushed with excitement, looked at Li Yi, and said with burning eyes.

   "Why is Envoy Cao so sure?"

   "I remember, Feng Langjun has an article called "Xia Ke Xing", right?"

   "Exactly."

   "Xia Ke Xing" is still engraved in a guest house in Nanxiang.

  Its characters are drawn with iron and silver hooks, and three points into the stone. It is said that it is Feng Junhou's own handwriting.

  As long as it is the first time for people who come to Nanxiang for a visit, they will be captured by its fierce aura.

  This matter, the first half is true.

  The second half is also true.

   As for the part in the middle, Li Yi has reservations.

  Since Cao San came to deliver the letter to Feng Langjun on behalf of King Chen, he must have done his homework.

  I saw him standing up, walking back and forth, and began to read: "Zhao Keman, Huying... After spending time in Xinling to drink... I will burn Zhuhai, and hold the cup to persuade Hou Ying..."

  After reading the complete poem, Cao San stopped in front of Li Yi, stared at him and said:

   "Li Langjun, have you heard what is hidden in this article?"

  Li Yi shook his head in doubt.

  He has already memorized this poem fluently.

  Poetry is good poetry.

   And he also knew, his elder brother admitted it himself, this is a poem written for those rangers.

  Is there anything else hidden in this?

   Cao San shook his head and said:

   "Zhao Ke, Xinling, Zhu Hai, Hou Ying, Li Langjun, have you ever thought about when these people happened?"

  Hearing this, Li Yi was shocked, his face changed drastically, making him feel as if a bolt of lightning had struck through his heart.

  I saw him standing up abruptly, and couldn't help saying: "Damn!"

  Before Cao San could ask what "Fuck" meant, he looked straight at Cao San and said, "Battle of Handan?"

   "That's right!" Cao San clapped his hands and shouted.

  Xinling refers to Lord Xinling.

  During the Battle of Handan, Lord Xinling stole the tiger talisman and led the Wei army to rescue Zhao.

  Zhu Hai was a warrior who killed Jin Bi, the commander of the Wei army who refused to march, and helped Lord Xinling win the military power.

  Hou Ying was the one who offered advice to Lord Xinling. At the same time, in order to repay Lord Xinling's kindness, he committed suicide and died.

   For a long time, Li Yi felt that the so-called Zhao guest was naturally the Zhao land knight represented by Zhu Haihouying.

  But now that I think about it carefully, I'm afraid it refers to Guo Jing and Huang Rong more.

  Because there is a sentence in the back, "Flick off your clothes when things happen, and hide your body and name deeply"!

  After all, whether it was Hou Ying who committed suicide, or Zhu Hai who stayed in Zhao State with Lord Xinling, neither of them "flicked off their clothes and hid themselves and their names deeply".

  Guo Jing and Huang Rong, who went to the frontier to live in seclusion, are the most appropriate two sentences.

  Li Yi felt that he had finally solved a long-standing question, his heart was throbbing, he held on to the table a little unsteadily, so as not to fall down and sit down.

   Really a fan of the authorities, a fan of the authorities!

  Because my elder brother thought it was a poem for You Xiaer, so I didn't think about it at all.

   On the contrary, Cao San was on the outside. In this case, he could immediately think of it.

  Cao San approached Li Yi, his voice was trembling slightly because he was too excited:

   "Li Langjun, Feng Langjun vaguely mentioned Guo Jing and Huang Rong in this majestic essay, probably because he knew that they were not fictional people."

   "Otherwise, think about it, those rangers have always been despised by the world, who would write poems for them?"

  If it wasn't for Feng Langjun's relationship with the "Wu'an Jun's Art of War", how could he deliberately write about those two people?

  The more Cao San thought about it, the more he felt it made sense.

   It's just such a thing, it must be a big secret, let alone wonder if he will have a chance to see Feng Langjun in the future.

   Even if there is a chance, I am afraid that there is no chance to ask the real truth of this matter.

  Thinking of this, Cao San couldn't help scratching his heart like a hundred claws.

  Li Yi was swallowing hard.

  The reason why he reacted so strongly was that Cao San's conjecture was almost confirmed in his heart to be true.

  Because he knows a lot more than Cao San.

  For example, the Thirty-Six Strategies, for example, the Mo Dao that is unique to the elder brother’s army, it is the Zidian Dao that has been circulated in the rivers and lakes...

  Cao Sandian broke through the hidden meaning of "Xia Ke Xing", the two of them stared wide-eyed, and neither of them spoke again.

   For a while, the private room fell silent.

  In this eerie silence, a loud voice suddenly came from the next door:

   "Have you heard, there is a new thing from Liangzhou."

"What's up?"

   "The world's culture is divided into one stone, Feng Junhou occupies eight, Wei Guo Cao Zhi occupies one, and the remaining one is shared by the world."

   "Hahaha, this statement is interesting! This Feng Wenhe speaks so loudly, why doesn't he go to the big river to brag?"

  The rafts used to cross the river in Liangzhou are mostly made of sheepskin.

  Better than sheepskin, it is naturally cowhide.

  But people with a big breath can blow it up.

   "Feng Junhou may not dare to say that. Isn't there a test to select talents in Liangzhou? Maybe someone wants to take the opportunity to get a position, so they are so flattering..."

   Governor Feng's reputation in Longyou is still good, so naturally someone would speak for him.

   "That's true...but this flattery is too much, and I don't know what will happen to the people in Wei State when they hear it?"

   "What else? I heard that Wei Guo demoted Feng Junhou's article, saying that it was not in compliance with the law, and it was just a laugh for the world. Even if Feng Junhou said this himself, it was just a direct complaint."

  After hearing these words, Li Yi woke up suddenly, his heart felt cold, and he looked at Cao San with some worry.

  Unexpectedly, Cao San smiled lightly.

   A bunch of ignorant people, but they are similar to those ignorant scholars in Wei who can only belittle people but don't write a penny.

   "I am born to be talented" you know?

   Do you know that "sages and sages in ancient times are lonely"?

   Do you know "Zijian feasted on Pingle in the past"?

   Waiting to return to Chendi, Feng Langjun's "Will Enter the Wine" will surely be famous all over the world.

  Only the literati in the world are Chen Wang and Feng Langjun, who can solve the eternal sorrow together, and the rest are not worth looking at.

  Cao San didn't care at all about the matter of "high talent".

  At this time, he was thinking more about the "Three Books of Shooting the Condors", secretly thinking that when he returned to Hanzhong, he must collect all the books and study them carefully.
